Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so why not make these Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies?

I found the recipe on Sally's Baking Addiction.

It's a cake mix recipe, so it's super easy!

You do have to be sure to not over bake the cookies or they will start turning brown.  A few of my cookies did start to turn brown, but they still tasted great!  I enjoyed the strawberry flavor.  My kids loved the cookies as well, but my husband thought they were too sweet.

These cookies definitely make a great treat for Valentine's Day, or any day!
